Teach Survive Repeat

Teach. Survive. Repeat.
The truth about teaching they don't want you to know.

Forget the glossy recruitment ads and heartwarming classroom montages. Teach, Survive, Repeat is a raw, unapologetic exposé of modern teaching in the UK-where idealism collides with chaos, and surviving the day often feels like a bigger achievement than inspiring young minds.

From overcrowded classrooms and systemic failures to toxic leadership and the weaponisation of Ofsted, Mark Rickard lifts the lid on a profession gasping for reform. Based on lived experiences and anonymised real-life accounts, this book is not a feel-good teacher memoir-it's a brutal, honest survival story.

Explore topics like:

• Behavioural anarchy in under-resourced schools

• The emotional and mental toll on educators

• The rise of unqualified staff replacing trained teachers

• The silencing of passionate voices under corporate-style academy trusts

Whether you're a teacher clinging to hope, a parent curious about what really goes on behind the staffroom door, or someone who left the profession wondering if it was just you-this book is for you.

Real talk. Real stories. Real pain.
Read it. Share it. Survive it.
